I have been searching around to find a way i could detect that a screenshot has been taken in android. I found detect screenshot attempts and prevent screenshots but they are strictly from a security perspective and does not help me serve the following purpose:
I want to develop a background process that always listens for a screenshot. Once a manual screenshot is taken:
1) It notes down the file and path
2) automatically attaches it to an exchange account new email template.
Is there a way i could achieve the above in android?
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to offer an app to modify images. In order to have the user give an easy access to the that feature, it would be the easiest solution to just let him directly take a screenshot to have the source picture taken or respond to a screenshot event and access the latest screenshot.
Unfortunately it seems to be a problem, since an app or even a service from the app runs in background cannot easily react to events and I haven't found any solution that would go only little close to that kind of thing.
So my questions are (lets assume all necessary permissions are given from the user):
Is there a possibility to register my app as kind of standard screenshot app (or additional screenshot app triggered by another key combination of the device) and how ;-)
Can an app stay in a state to notice if a screenshot is taken and
can access it?
If not: Any ideas for an workaround other than let the user select a taken picture, which is rather kind of roundabout and annoying?
Any hints are very welcome! Thank you in advance!

I'm looking for some way to either create the following or if it already exists be provided with it. After much looking I have not been able to find it. What I want is for a person to be able to scan a QR code which acts like clicking a web link (Or something else?) then for their iphone or android default camera app to open. Perhaps its a stretch but if I could turn the camera onto a selfie that would be even better.
I am NOT asking for how I can in any way have access to what shows up. I simply want to be able to open the camera app after clicking a link. If it exists I please comment it.
my goal is to get a video from a usb connected device (an easycap video grabber) displayed. There is already an android app that does exactly that. However i need to add some buttons and some extra functions to it. So i came to the idea of displaying the app that already exists inside my app. Is that possible in any way?
I already tried to decompile the existing app to edit the code a bit but i didn't get anything to work with.
Do you have any other idea? If you know how to program that please let me know what i need to achieve that.
Thank you!
This cannot be done due to security reasons in the Android OS itself.
Android provides a security layer called the Sandbox in which the OS assigns a User ID for each app, so that an app will not have permission to access resources from another app.
I'm currently working on a Android photo management app. I would like to have "Instagramm like" photo filters. But actually Android can do it much better itself with the pre-installed Photo App.
See here:
The App on the right hand side is the one I'm referring to:
I already had a look at the developer guides but nothing is described there.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
In general: How can I make use of those filters without implementing them on myself and without forcing the user to switch between apps.
Does anyone have any hints for me?
Thanks in advance.
When I visit a web page using Android browser I can capture the visible part of the web page making a screenshot of the whole screen, but I need capture the whole web page, including the part of the web page that is outside the screen, I mean, not just the visible part of the page.
What I want is something like the option "Capture Entire Page" of Awesome Screenshot plugin. Pls, exclude all the programming method for do this, I want a already made tool easy to use for a newbie Android. The idea is allow common users reports layout bugs easily. So, what tool can I use to accomplish that?
A VALID REPLY IS SUCH TOOL NOT EXIST, but pls, put some reference.
You can use the Dolphin browser and Screen Cut add-on to capture full webpages on an Android phone. You do not need root access.
You cannot use any standard android method to get screenshot of entire screen (including non visible portion). But if you have root access, you can read the framebuffer to get the entire contents using this method

This does exactly what you want. I have tested it.
